by Athol Fugard (Author)
"Tender, ruminative... Fugard has been anatomizing the evils of apartheid, and the troubling legacies it left behind, throughout his long and distinguished career." --Charles Isherwood, New York Times
Inspired by the life of Nukain Mabuza, a self-taught artist who painted the boulders on the farm on which he worked, The Painted Rocks at Revolver Creek observes two differing experiences with racism, in the decades during and following apartheid, while ultimately illuminating the meaning of preserving the history of one's own past.
